I live in Sweden and no Melinda, we really do not want more billionaires. If they were all like Bill Gates then maybe, but most likely, most of them will turn out more like Donald Trump.
Amen to that! We need Bill Gates to hand out his own wealth to the poor. Sure if all ritch people do that sure, but what if they got taxed and helped poor familys instead. No need to give away the money you dont have the time to spend
The way she meant it was that if the rules allowed for more billionaires with a different tax system in place the growth of people like Bill to exist in the country would be greater, the tax rate in Sweden makes business not want to exist. Infact I would say it hurts growth.

People with wealth really don't flex at all. It's the people with no money or don't have that much of money (usually) who flex. They have a car they don't own, they have a nice watch they bought for all their savings, but they probably lives in a shithole.
@@ugay9379 like R.T said. I have family members that are very wealthy, they don't flex with shit,they have normal clothes and so on. If you see them on the street im 100 % sure you don't think they got a lot of money when they really do. They don't give a fuck about what brand of clothes they use,they don't give a fuck what people think about them. They doing there own race and keeping a low profile.
@@hihello6353- That really depends on what you mean by "very wealthy" and it also depends on the culture. I live in western Canada in a Chinese-immigrant-centric city. The wealthy actually drive around in luxury cars, dress in the best and their kids really do flaunt that wealth. There was a piece of land here, former farmland, bought up two years ago and a huge luxury car garage was built on top. Another example is a super wealthy couple who drove around town in their latest Lambo. The guy is in his 50's with his young wife. Mind you, he was also arrested for dodging taxes. While it is true some millionaires and billionaires are low-key, most millionaires I know aren't. They're low-key when it comes to one-on-one interactions, but otherwise, you know they are rich by just watching them behave, talk and buy things. I only know two millionaires that don't flaunt so openly. One is a family member and the other is a friend. Both of these people dine in the same places I dine at, talk the same 'language' (gaming, nerd-stuff, 'normal-stuff') and spend as if they are still in the lower-middle class, but not being stingy. These two pocket around 1-1.5 million a year.
People with money is block or to say guess it or not to be known or like what people say if you do see what happens...for example bush family oil gold mine how come he ain't the richest and on talk news cuz..lol think out the box....

They can't find their money since the Panama project exposed them! It's rich people trying to invent new way of keeping their money secure in the US. These rich people has evaded paying taxes for as long as they became rich.

Gates been rich for a long time and doing this work as well. What's the new component...why now include the US...bet it's not to benefit you!!
Any rich person who says that is full of shit. They can right a check to the IRS anytime they please. The IRS will gladly take it. They want your money you booger eating moron. Wake up and think for yourself quit being told how to think.
The thing about taxing the rich higher which is never discussed is who says that the government will spend that money wisely? Sure, more money for health, education, and infrastructure sounds nice, but experience tells me that a very large share of it will in fact be spent for other nonsense.
Bill gates: so taxes Audience: *thundering applause* whoo!!! Gates: like I said, we should get taxed Audience: *thundering applause* whoo!!!!! Gates: *breathes* Audience: *enormous applause* whoop whoop!!!!! yeah!!
@Daily Catnip I can see ways to interpret this as making fun of bill gate as you pointed out, but, i think that would have to push certain assumption little further ahead than what people intended when they found this funny. I certainly found it funny that audience was doing little too much but you can replace anybody of interest(not just bill gate) and still found the situation to be funny. Perhaps what you were pointing out was, the show was taking opportunity to express this particular joke(which wasn't directed at bill gate personally ) in the expense of someone who took their time to come up onto the show. I see your point but it wasn't as personal as you would say. You gotta laugh at shallow attempts like this or you will see everything as insults.
@harlequin2280 Spot on. Very well said. So glad to see a truly intelligent person who's actually capable of critically thinking in these comments. It scares me how indoctrinated the majority of people are when it comes to this. It's like they drink the Kool-Aid before it was even stirred.
He didn't earn his wealth. He fraudulently manipulated the system in a day when it was still no precedent rightly or wrongly. Daddy bought him an operating system for $50k after he lied to IBM that he had one and got an exclusive contract with them beforehand. Those days are long gone. Bill also owns over 100 absurdly rare and fast sports cars. The man has money all over the place, but mainly hidden in his Foundation to pay $0 in taxes.

If corporations would actually stop classifying associates as part time and working them full time, hiring illegals under the I9 Everify radar, raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour and offer affordable health care I would vote to give them big tax breaks but often they use the tax breaks to horde massive wealth and stock buy back so they don't have to pay dividends. Hell I think every company should allow employees to invest in stocks in the company they work for everyone could benefit
Personally, I think that we ought to make corporate taxes variable. Depending on the financial health of the company, and how well they treat their employees. Basically, if the company is healthy, and they are not investing the money into employee wellness, then they will be taxed heavily since they are benefiting from the welfare system. This needs to be done carefully, so as to not kill the businesses, but to encourage them to act like their employees are human beings that need to eat to survive.
shadowcat 10110 I believe that you are right. Instead of giving tax cuts freely, there should be a law or rule saying it should be invested into the workers and expansion. Not used to buy economic shares or personal profits.
Name Here well said, I couldn’t honestly couldn’t have said it better. Companies don’t care for human rights it seems down in the states. As where in Canada we have a law protecting workers. Ensuring us from not being kicked out of a job for no reason, or to ensure that the companies do not take advantage of us and try to force us to do something illegal. It also states we have the right to refuse unsafe work.

Melinda said that once in the interview, actually. It’s probably just in the less developed countries where their government doesn’t have that ability where they step in and help
That's exactly what Melinda said. She said that there are certain areas which are maybe too minority-specific or sensitive for a government to justify to all its tax payers in working for. Such places would be ideal for philanthropists whose actions aren't criticized as being politically driven. But healthcare and education are issues that a government has to take care of because they are a necessity for all people and there is no option other than a good compromise.
They said the government should. They said that philanthropy allows them to try experimental stuff, but then the government needs to step up and do healthcare and education in response.

We were all excited to see LeAnn Rimes perform and during a break the Handler told us that we were supposed to get up and leave the studio and go somewhere. Most ignored him until he got very loud and said we have 2 minutes 30 seconds folks you need to get out of your chairs and file out through the exits we're going to go over to another Studio where the musical guest is. It took us forever standing on the street like idiots to get into the show and when we are finally seated it did not compute. There we were crossing traffic to go to another building that was barely big enough to fit a stage. We were crammed in there like sardines and I was ten feet away from the guest. It was a shitshow. Jimmy Kimmel had no personality until the camera was on. Which is understandable it is his job.
I dont know about that, in North America tons of medical research is funded by the government. It's how we encourage companies to research stuff that will never make money for pharma companies, like rare cancers or new uses for drugs in the public domain.
@@samratspeaks they're being roasted with the claps: notice they always clap when Bill or Mal admits they should be taxed more. Look at their embarrassed faces every time they clap! Don't know why nobody seems to have noticed that.
Honestly with hindsight it is pretty easy to see that the two of them really did not get along very well. Watching Bill with his friend Warren Buffet or come on these shows alone, he is a completely different person and seems far more relaxed, happy and genuine.
They aren't clapping in admiration, they are clapping at the idea of billionaires like them being taxed higher. Look at the Gate's faces when everyone claps: they're embarrassed.
Amazon doubled its profits in 2018 and made more than $11 Billion, won't pay any federal income taxes for the second year in a row, the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy reported on Wednesday, Feb 13, 2019. The company will not be required to pay the standard 21 percent income tax rate on its 2018 profits, and is claiming a tax rebate of $129 million, which ITEP describes as a "a tax rate of negative 1 percent." Amazon drew ire in 2018 for not paying federal taxes on its $5.6 billion in profits the year before, which was made possible due to tax credits and stock-based compensation, reports Politifact. Last year was the first time Amazon paid no federal income tax whatsoever. From 2011 to 2016, Amazon payed federal income tax at a rate of 11.4 percent - less than half of the national rate of 35 percent.
@Sundar Pichai And it is worse now-Amazon doubled its profits in 2018 and made more than $11 Billion, won't pay any federal income taxes for the second year in a row......
@@nsorrentino5 That's the exact OPPOSITE of what should be done. If you raise the corporate tax rate businesses will do the same thing they did when we had that horrible President Barack Obama. They will simply offshore their money to other countries. When Trump became President big companies like Apple, Microsoft, etc brought their money they were hoarding overseas for YEARS back into the United States because the tax rate was too high in America before. Trump's business tax cuts encouraged them to bring that money back into the United States to be taxed. That's exactly what those businesses decided to do. Why get killed on taxes when you can just place a headquarters in another country to circumvent being taxed? These businesses are smarter than you Nicholas. Raising the tax rate on businesses crushes economic growth, causes lower employment, and lower wages. You need to tax the personal income and other assets.
He's so right, the income tax rate isn't the one we should be focusing on. Look at estate taxes and capital gains taxes which governments have been decreasing rapidly at the behest of their wealthy donors (and also for their own personal gain).
As if real capital gains from the upper echelon are actually going to be revealed... it just further drastically reduces the chances of normal people winning fairly. Meaning they can’t win. Same with the estate tax- you think that’s going to apply to their group? I feel like it’s helpful for weeding out those they don’t like though. Although I will say capital gains tax > estate tax
Joshua Jay There is a reason why I mentioned the Gates’ and not Elon Musk or the late Steve Jobs (when he was alive).... They were and are applauded by a specific group of tech enthusiasts and possibly ordinary people impressed by their future oriented innovations in their companies. Bill and Melinda Gates are applauded for years of trying to use their money to help fight against diseases and humanitarian causes on planet earth....Rather than wasting billions of dollars to charge people hundreds of thousands of dollars to go to Mars! ...when that money could be used to help the impoverished of the world right here on Earth. Don’t compare Bill Gates to Elon Musk, please.
I'm not comparing Elon Musk to Bill Gates, but he is pretty well known at this point, and pretty well liked. I definitley think he would've gotten applause.
They are definitely bias ,but even they will admit that the super wealthy should be taxed A LOT MORE. Philanthropy is good and all , but it should not be what society depends on for things that are crucial to quality of living standards like education and healthcare to be taken care of.
THIS right here is the difference between US and Western Europe. I would rather pay 100 in taxes more every year if my doctors bill is LITERALLY 2€. and not 2000 USD.
Agreed. Trumps State of the Union had a special guest 8 year old (I think, she's very young) girl that was a cancer patient that fund-raised over $30k to help other kids with cancer. It was a touching story until you realize that no child with cancer should be out fundraising on behalf of other cancer stricken children because their government will not cover their needs. Her parents have put tons of time and effort into earning taxable income and the government will not even do their part for their child. That girl should be focusing on her therapy, and hopefully become healthy enough to focus on her academics and future career, so that best care scenario she becomes a tax contributing member of society, instead of going out collecting money to cover her and others' health care costs. SAD
We need our roads and bridges fixed, our education revamped, our research doubled down, our health care universalized ( Or the prices slashed, they're out of this world), and pay increased. I don't see any of this happening without drastic cuts to military spending, more tax on the individually wealthy, and the corporations who use loopholes to pay a sum of $0 in taxes
I think the taxing should be the same for all, but there should be laws that prevent certain companies or individuals to have so much dominance in their markets, allowing for growth to be stimulated by collaboration instead of competition. That way, if a company wants to keep growing after reaching its market portion limit, it would be forced to help the market grow instead of eliminating its competitors.
Power dynamics. The bigger their wealth-number, the more they are perceived to have "power". The more resources at their disposal, the harder it is for common folk like us to access those resources, which means greater sway over our behaviors to access those resources for our own survival. That's only one aspect of it, but it's one of the more telling ones, because if the government can successfully tax the megarich higher and redistribute the wealth to the general populace, we'll see a greater chance of rising business competition against those same megarich, and we'll see less people who'll feel the need to hustle for the megarich's resources for survival, which are both existential threats to the megarich and their source of power.

Bill shows why being a politician isn't important. For the same reason that trump ran for president because he isn't really a billionaire and isn't really smart.
Spanakoptia07 you really don't know much and saying that rubbish doesn't help anyone including the beautiful country of Africa and their people. Take care, and keep thinking.
Spanakoptia It’s not killing babies if the babies never existed. Sterilization is not killing babies, it’s preventing babies who would suffer if they were born anyway.
"We wish we could have a Bill Gates" Shut this one up, we have Bernard Arnault who is approximatly as rich as Bill Gates and is doing nothing for the poorest of his country
What Bill said about being a politician is very important. "We are specialized in what we dig into and what we know". Just because you're a good business person or well educated does not mean you can hold a high political office. Maybe if you work your way up, but definitely not go for the top at first try. You don't know how a system works until you're apart of it. So to assume you can directly manage it is naive and arrogant. Also, I think their efforts concerning filantropic work is far too important and needed to be set aside.
Olympias, unfortunately a lot/if not most seeking office do so for selfish reasons, not to improve the well being of their communities. You can tell who they are...the first thing they do when elected is to reduce taxes for their class, hire their friends and relatives, support bills that benefit their businesses, reward their campaign donors, and the last stroke...is when they leave office they end up working in those same companies which they have enriched. The political landscape today is a very corrupt one, being masked as "people wanting to give back".
Good points, for sure. It’s “philanthropic” though bud. It’s a tricky word, I know. I’m just glad you didn’t say “literally” somewhere in your op. The kids are learning, thank Satan.
Okay. So, they're not as awful as other billionaires/millionaires...but I'm still for (highly) raising the taxes on the rich. These guys are the exception to the rule of greed. Too many people are lacking. too many are hurting without access to healthcare and starving without access to food. :/
I would suggest to tax the rich insanely high, but also give them the chance to donate to charities which are monitored by the government beforehand. Similarly to how it's already done, but with less assholes only donating to fake charities for lower taxes.
Hey, Just a question. I´m from europe so i don´t now much about american policies, but wouldn´t taxes of lets say 70% be the end of companies like SpaceX or Tesla? Even tough they are already multi- billion dollar companies, Tesla was almost getting bankrupt last year (Exept of course Bernie Sander or Ocasio Cortez already promised something like lower taxes on those companies to keep them above water)
@@chrissse990 I'm definitely not an expert on our tax system or economics, but when average people talk about raising taxes generally they are talking about citizens' income/property taxes rather than companies/organizations'. So in the case of Tesla since you mentioned it they refer to raising Elon Musk's tax rates for his income which wouldn't change the amount the company is allocating to his paycheck, but would affect how much he gets in his bank account. And also from what I understand Tesla, being that it is still a fairly young company, is still mostly in the investment phase where it is running basically on the initial sum of money from when it started, and they are still growing and refining themselves to be able to turn a profit. Which, as they continue to improve and streamline their manufacturing and get more cars out to be sold, should be relatively soon.
chrissse990 as Taylor said it’s a 70% tax on the income of the Billionaire, not the actual company - which has its own tax rate, I forget her name but she was suggesting that they get Taxed normal up to 10 million then they get the 70% tax rate on anything after 10 million so once they get another 10 million or more 70% of that is tax ~ 7 million . (So if say Brad Pitt gets 20 million for his next blockbuster movie he would probably pay around 8 million in tax)
@@ender1242 Microsoft has almost a monopoly on computers at this point with it being horribly unrealistic to use any other platform other than maybe apple(which is awful for other reasons) and it continues to become more and more of a "pay for the service" model where they would rather you rent than own. In terms of computers I think this is a horrible argument because places like the windows store notoriously function awfully for apps and games. Even semi-recently I was trying to play PSO2's north american release which is a windows store exclusive and it was so broken it installed multiple 70gig directories it wouldn't give me access to and actually did permanent damage to my SSD. I think anyone who remembers the glory days of microsoft XP or earlier and the freedom computers used to give you probably scoffs at the idea that the current windows operating systems are fine. He's acting more humanitarian for sure than many billionaires hoarding wealth but.... he could give away 90% of his wealth, hang up his hat and call it a day never needing to stop his life of luxury or work a day in his life if he so decided not to. There's a lot of critics of Bill Gates who think he has too much power with places like the Bill and Melinda gates foundation. Due to his influence and money he can ignore a lot of real world health issues and skew the public healthcare system to focus more on things like polio than cancer(an actual thing he's already done) AGAINST the advice of real scientists and doctors. Maybe he's a really smart guy and he makes some good points about philanthropists like elon musk doing incredible stuff the government is behind on BUT - There's a big discussion on if those kind of people are needed, or how many more people like that there are but aren't discovered due to a lack of start up capital. I'm not gonna say the guy is evil, he's not but he does have way too much power for someone who is supposed to be a regular citizen like the rest of us, and that comes from his money. Many would argue him holding that much wealth and "investing" in future ideals he values is costing other people their lives. beyond that though... Bill Gates is an outlier with most billionaires or trillionaires like Jeff Bezos not being benevolent generous kind people. You can't get that rich without exploiting others in my opinion. There's a conversation here you shouldn't dismiss about whether it's morally okay to allow people or even companies to hold such insane amounts of wealth. Again he's not evil but he IS more powerful than most countries in the world so don't be fooled into thinking he's just a quirky harmless philanthropist.
So true about the cell phone in women's hands. Excellent point. And well articulated in that you quickly illustrate ways it cuts through oppression women feel from all directions in their cultures.
I know right? Women in first world countries are living in the most technologically advanced age in human history and at one specific point in time are probably richer that a good 700 million people... but nah they're oppressed when they get whistled at 🤷♂️
@Tro Ivas she's talking about women in third world countries where they get acid attacks for showing their face dumb ass. Besides, who says not going to work is a luxury?
It doesn't just help women, it can help everybody to have access to asset protect. Most people have that as a home to store food and possessions in until they return. Stability is vital for personal growth.
@@sammyabdelhadi4123 "Have you ever studied economics or taxation? ... You want to tax the rich so much that they would have no incentive to invest..." If you truly are someone who uses economic knowledge for a living I would recommend against posting publicly. Interest rates, which measure relative strength of consumption compared with strength of investment, are basically at a tiny bit over 0% now. Fascinating that you haven't noticed this.
Nah, it hides their taxable income. All of their "projects" is initiative driven. Which just means they talk to people about doing things. They don't actually do them. The other division they started GAVI does actually administer vaccines. They are the alliance that most third world countries have ejected. Not sure of the story on why, they just don't seem well liked by people they are "trying to help".
@@Ripu2 they invest billions into companies who try to solve world problems... So no they don't actually do it themselves, because you can only focus on 1 complicated issue. By financing specialiced companies they can do the best job no one else can do better...

This is way more impactful than trying to specialize yourself in 1 area. Others are already better, and you can help many many many others with that amount of money.
India has 131 billionaires, third after China and the US. For a developing nation, this has seriously put to question the government's pro-growth policies as nothing more than pro-rich. Growth doesn't equate to development and we're creating a vastly unequal society with over 20 pc of our population still living under $2/day. High time for a "super rich tax" to implement Universal Basic Income (UBI).
125monty My cousin lived in India and from what she told us the government does nothing for the people. 90% of them are poor while the 10% are filthy rich. What a scam
aaücan that's not entirely true.. There's a burgeoning Indian middle class that has fueled growth. Where successive governments have failed to deliver is in eradicating extreme poverty.. That's why the need for UBI, not unlike Brazil's "Bolsa Familia".

He has attempted to control nothing but infectious diseases. He stopped polio!
@@popeyegordon I didn’t say he said anything. I was merely highlighting what he is advocating by asking for taxes to be raised on people. It is the initiation of force. Taxes are raised, aka government steals more money. How do they do this? At the barrel of a gun (force/threats of violence). What if you don’t pay? People with guns come to your home to take you to a cage (violence and the initiation of force). By advocating for higher taxes, one is promoting theft through the initiation of force and threats of violence. There is no way around this. I was suggesting that Gates should not promote this immorality and voluntarily give his money to the government instead of advocating their violent coercive tactics to thieve from people. Also, you should work on not getting so emotionally attached to public figures. It’s unhealthy behavior.

I live in Sweden and no Melinda, we really do not want more billionaires. If they were all like Bill Gates then maybe, but most likely, most of them will turn out more like Donald Trump.
Amen to that!
We need Bill Gates to hand out his own wealth to the poor. Sure if all ritch people do that sure, but what if they got taxed and helped poor familys instead. No need to give away the money you dont have the time to spend
excuse me sir. trump "pretends" to be a billionaire. there's 2 different arguments in there. LOL
same from France ! no need for more billionnaires, need ours to be less greedy
The way she meant it was that if the rules allowed for more billionaires with a different tax system in place the growth of people like Bill to exist in the country would be greater, the tax rate in Sweden makes business not want to exist. Infact I would say it hurts growth.

They don't give a fuck about what brand of clothes they use,they don't give a fuck what people think about them. They doing there own race and keeping a low profile.
@@hihello6353- That really depends on what you mean by "very wealthy" and it also depends on the culture. I live in western Canada in a Chinese-immigrant-centric city. The wealthy actually drive around in luxury cars, dress in the best and their kids really do flaunt that wealth. There was a piece of land here, former farmland, bought up two years ago and a huge luxury car garage was built on top. Another example is a super wealthy couple who drove around town in their latest Lambo. The guy is in his 50's with his young wife. Mind you, he was also arrested for dodging taxes.
While it is true some millionaires and billionaires are low-key, most millionaires I know aren't. They're low-key when it comes to one-on-one interactions, but otherwise, you know they are rich by just watching them behave, talk and buy things. I only know two millionaires that don't flaunt so openly. One is a family member and the other is a friend. Both of these people dine in the same places I dine at, talk the same 'language' (gaming, nerd-stuff, 'normal-stuff') and spend as if they are still in the lower-middle class, but not being stingy. These two pocket around 1-1.5 million a year.

I say its not only the rich that should be taxed greater, but also companies that make billions of dollars every year too.
If corporations would actually stop classifying associates as part time and working them full time, hiring illegals under the I9 Everify radar, raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour and offer affordable health care I would vote to give them big tax breaks but often they use the tax breaks to horde massive wealth and stock buy back so they don't have to pay dividends. Hell I think every company should allow employees to invest in stocks in the company they work for everyone could benefit
Personally, I think that we ought to make corporate taxes variable. Depending on the financial health of the company, and how well they treat their employees. Basically, if the company is healthy, and they are not investing the money into employee wellness, then they will be taxed heavily since they are benefiting from the welfare system. This needs to be done carefully, so as to not kill the businesses, but to encourage them to act like their employees are human beings that need to eat to survive.
shadowcat 10110 I believe that you are right. Instead of giving tax cuts freely, there should be a law or rule saying it should be invested into the workers and expansion. Not used to buy economic shares or personal profits.
Name Here well said, I couldn’t honestly couldn’t have said it better. Companies don’t care for human rights it seems down in the states. As where in Canada we have a law protecting workers. Ensuring us from not being kicked out of a job for no reason, or to ensure that the companies do not take advantage of us and try to force us to do something illegal. It also states we have the right to refuse unsafe work.

That's exactly what Melinda said. She said that there are certain areas which are maybe too minority-specific or sensitive for a government to justify to all its tax payers in working for. Such places would be ideal for philanthropists whose actions aren't criticized as being politically driven. But healthcare and education are issues that a government has to take care of because they are a necessity for all people and there is no option other than a good compromise.

@@hurb7184 A lobbyist is someone who pays politicians to implement policy that benefits them. lobbying is the main cause of all the bs in american gov't, so this if you can't beat 'em join 'em mentality isn't gonna work because the people that are fighting for higher taxes on the 1% don't take corporate PAC money.

Every political advocate is a lobbyist by definition, so even if a NGO demands equal pay or climate policies or whatever it would by lobbyism. Obviously often influence is used in the own interest of the lobbyist but it doesn't have to necessarily.

@@colt4505 when I went to the Jimmy Kimmel show it was a real eye-opener. In the beginning they had a Handler that really got the crowd worked up and the purpose of which was to weed out all the drunks or those that were going to cause a problem during broadcast. We were all excited to see LeAnn Rimes perform and during a break the Handler told us that we were supposed to get up and leave the studio and go somewhere. Most ignored him until he got very loud and said we have 2 minutes 30 seconds folks you need to get out of your chairs and file out through the exits we're going to go over to another Studio where the musical guest is. It took us forever standing on the street like idiots to get into the show and when we are finally seated it did not compute. There we were crossing traffic to go to another building that was barely big enough to fit a stage. We were crammed in there like sardines and I was ten feet away from the guest. It was a shitshow. Jimmy Kimmel had no personality until the camera was on. Which is understandable it is his job.
Notice how no one clapped at "reducing childhood death" but clapped a few seconds after when he said he's trying to give his money away?

Amazon doubled its profits in 2018 and made more than $11 Billion, won't pay any federal income taxes for the second year in a row, the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy reported on Wednesday, Feb 13, 2019.
The company will not be required to pay the standard 21 percent income tax rate on its 2018 profits, and is claiming a tax rebate of $129 million, which ITEP describes as a "a tax rate of negative 1 percent."
Amazon drew ire in 2018 for not paying federal taxes on its $5.6 billion in profits the year before, which was made possible due to tax credits and stock-based compensation, reports Politifact. Last year was the first time Amazon paid no federal income tax whatsoever.
From 2011 to 2016, Amazon payed federal income tax at a rate of 11.4 percent - less than half of the national rate of 35 percent.
Exactly, everyone needs to stop worrying about taxing personal income, and start thinking about a fair corporate tax
@Sundar Pichai and who tried everything to go against said person in office, no matter what he tried?
@Sundar Pichai And it is worse now-Amazon doubled its profits in 2018 and made more than $11 Billion, won't pay any federal income taxes for the second year in a row......
@Sundar Pichai ... do you really not know or are you trying to be "funny"? It was Barack Obama!
@@nsorrentino5 That's the exact OPPOSITE of what should be done. If you raise the corporate tax rate businesses will do the same thing they did when we had that horrible President Barack Obama. They will simply offshore their money to other countries. When Trump became President big companies like Apple, Microsoft, etc brought their money they were hoarding overseas for YEARS back into the United States because the tax rate was too high in America before. Trump's business tax cuts encouraged them to bring that money back into the United States to be taxed. That's exactly what those businesses decided to do. Why get killed on taxes when you can just place a headquarters in another country to circumvent being taxed? These businesses are smarter than you Nicholas. Raising the tax rate on businesses crushes economic growth, causes lower employment, and lower wages. You need to tax the personal income and other assets.

Pretty sure everyone knew he mispoke...well, i guess not everyone.
He's so right, the income tax rate isn't the one we should be focusing on. Look at estate taxes and capital gains taxes which governments have been decreasing rapidly at the behest of their wealthy donors (and also for their own personal gain).
As if real capital gains from the upper echelon are actually going to be revealed... it just further drastically reduces the chances of normal people winning fairly. Meaning they can’t win. Same with the estate tax- you think that’s going to apply to their group? I feel like it’s helpful for weeding out those they don’t like though. Although I will say capital gains tax > estate tax

I'm not comparing Elon Musk to Bill Gates, but he is pretty well known at this point, and pretty well liked. I definitley think he would've gotten applause.
They are definitely bias ,but even they will admit that the super wealthy should be taxed A LOT MORE. Philanthropy is good and all , but it should not be what society depends on for things that are crucial to quality of living standards like education and healthcare to be taken care of.
THIS right here is the difference between US and Western Europe. I would rather pay 100 in taxes more every year if my doctors bill is LITERALLY 2€. and not 2000 USD.
*biased
Agreed. Trumps State of the Union had a special guest 8 year old (I think, she's very young) girl that was a cancer patient that fund-raised over $30k to help other kids with cancer. It was a touching story until you realize that no child with cancer should be out fundraising on behalf of other cancer stricken children because their government will not cover their needs. Her parents have put tons of time and effort into earning taxable income and the government will not even do their part for their child.
That girl should be focusing on her therapy, and hopefully become healthy enough to focus on her academics and future career, so that best care scenario she becomes a tax contributing member of society, instead of going out collecting money to cover her and others' health care costs. SAD
We need our roads and bridges fixed, our education revamped, our research doubled down, our health care universalized ( Or the prices slashed, they're out of this world), and pay increased. I don't see any of this happening without drastic cuts to military spending, more tax on the individually wealthy, and the corporations who use loopholes to pay a sum of $0 in taxes

you could actually tell they were a little annoyed with the cheering lol
I think the taxing should be the same for all, but there should be laws that prevent certain companies or individuals to have so much dominance in their markets, allowing for growth to be stimulated by collaboration instead of competition. That way, if a company wants to keep growing after reaching its market portion limit, it would be forced to help the market grow instead of eliminating its competitors.
If the second riches man in the world is fine witb getting taxed at a higher rate, why is Trump and Co. so against the idea?
Some people are relentlessly greedy, some are not. Trump is just that selfish.
It's trickle down economics which is outdated now. It's not just creed. Real life is a bit more complicated
Bill Gates is an exception...most people are greedy.
Greed.
Power dynamics.
The bigger their wealth-number, the more they are perceived to have "power". The more resources at their disposal, the harder it is for common folk like us to access those resources, which means greater sway over our behaviors to access those resources for our own survival.
That's only one aspect of it, but it's one of the more telling ones, because if the government can successfully tax the megarich higher and redistribute the wealth to the general populace, we'll see a greater chance of rising business competition against those same megarich, and we'll see less people who'll feel the need to hustle for the megarich's resources for survival, which are both existential threats to the megarich and their source of power.

@Saved. What did you think about him openly saying "things are going well, like producing childhood death" and then gives a smirk? xD
What Bill said about being a politician is very important. "We are specialized in what we dig into and what we know". Just because you're a good business person or well educated does not mean you can hold a high political office. Maybe if you work your way up, but definitely not go for the top at first try. You don't know how a system works until you're apart of it. So to assume you can directly manage it is naive and arrogant.
Also, I think their efforts concerning filantropic work is far too important and needed to be set aside.
And when they jump in regardless, you get what we have now.
Olympias, unfortunately a lot/if not most seeking office do so for selfish reasons, not to improve the well being of their communities. You can tell who they are...the first thing they do when elected is to reduce taxes for their class, hire their friends and relatives, support bills that benefit their businesses, reward their campaign donors, and the last stroke...is when they leave office they end up working in those same companies which they have enriched. The political landscape today is a very corrupt one, being masked as "people wanting to give back".
Good points, for sure. It’s “philanthropic” though bud. It’s a tricky word, I know. I’m just glad you didn’t say “literally” somewhere in your op. The kids are learning, thank Satan.
Okay. So, they're not as awful as other billionaires/millionaires...but I'm still for (highly) raising the taxes on the rich. These guys are the exception to the rule of greed. Too many people are lacking. too many are hurting without access to healthcare and starving without access to food. :/
I would suggest to tax the rich insanely high, but also give them the chance to donate to charities which are monitored by the government beforehand. Similarly to how it's already done, but with less assholes only donating to fake charities for lower taxes.
Hey, Just a question. I´m from europe so i don´t now much about american policies, but wouldn´t taxes of lets say 70% be the end of companies like SpaceX or Tesla? Even tough they are already multi- billion dollar companies, Tesla was almost getting bankrupt last year (Exept of course Bernie Sander or Ocasio Cortez already promised something like lower taxes on those companies to keep them above water)
@@chrissse990 I'm definitely not an expert on our tax system or economics, but when average people talk about raising taxes generally they are talking about citizens' income/property taxes rather than companies/organizations'. So in the case of Tesla since you mentioned it they refer to raising Elon Musk's tax rates for his income which wouldn't change the amount the company is allocating to his paycheck, but would affect how much he gets in his bank account.
And also from what I understand Tesla, being that it is still a fairly young company, is still mostly in the investment phase where it is running basically on the initial sum of money from when it started, and they are still growing and refining themselves to be able to turn a profit. Which, as they continue to improve and streamline their manufacturing and get more cars out to be sold, should be relatively soon.
@@ThatFairyBoy awesome, thanks for the answer ;)
chrissse990 as Taylor said it’s a 70% tax on the income of the Billionaire, not the actual company - which has its own tax rate, I forget her name but she was suggesting that they get Taxed normal up to 10 million then they get the 70% tax rate on anything after 10 million so once they get another 10 million or more 70% of that is tax ~ 7 million . (So if say Brad Pitt gets 20 million for his next blockbuster movie he would probably pay around 8 million in tax)

@@ender1242 Microsoft has almost a monopoly on computers at this point with it being horribly unrealistic to use any other platform other than maybe apple(which is awful for other reasons) and it continues to become more and more of a "pay for the service" model where they would rather you rent than own. In terms of computers I think this is a horrible argument because places like the windows store notoriously function awfully for apps and games. Even semi-recently I was trying to play PSO2's north american release which is a windows store exclusive and it was so broken it installed multiple 70gig directories it wouldn't give me access to and actually did permanent damage to my SSD. I think anyone who remembers the glory days of microsoft XP or earlier and the freedom computers used to give you probably scoffs at the idea that the current windows operating systems are fine.
He's acting more humanitarian for sure than many billionaires hoarding wealth but.... he could give away 90% of his wealth, hang up his hat and call it a day never needing to stop his life of luxury or work a day in his life if he so decided not to. There's a lot of critics of Bill Gates who think he has too much power with places like the Bill and Melinda gates foundation. Due to his influence and money he can ignore a lot of real world health issues and skew the public healthcare system to focus more on things like polio than cancer(an actual thing he's already done) AGAINST the advice of real scientists and doctors. Maybe he's a really smart guy and he makes some good points about philanthropists like elon musk doing incredible stuff the government is behind on BUT - There's a big discussion on if those kind of people are needed, or how many more people like that there are but aren't discovered due to a lack of start up capital. I'm not gonna say the guy is evil, he's not but he does have way too much power for someone who is supposed to be a regular citizen like the rest of us, and that comes from his money. Many would argue him holding that much wealth and "investing" in future ideals he values is costing other people their lives.
beyond that though... Bill Gates is an outlier with most billionaires or trillionaires like Jeff Bezos not being benevolent generous kind people. You can't get that rich without exploiting others in my opinion. There's a conversation here you shouldn't dismiss about whether it's morally okay to allow people or even companies to hold such insane amounts of wealth.
Again he's not evil but he IS more powerful than most countries in the world so don't be fooled into thinking he's just a quirky harmless philanthropist.

@@popeyegordon I didn’t say he said anything. I was merely highlighting what he is advocating by asking for taxes to be raised on people.
It is the initiation of force. Taxes are raised, aka government steals more money. How do they do this? At the barrel of a gun (force/threats of violence). What if you don’t pay? People with guns come to your home to take you to a cage (violence and the initiation of force).
By advocating for higher taxes, one is promoting theft through the initiation of force and threats of violence. There is no way around this.
I was suggesting that Gates should not promote this immorality and voluntarily give his money to the government instead of advocating their violent coercive tactics to thieve from people.
Also, you should work on not getting so emotionally attached to public figures. It’s unhealthy behavior.
